  • In a step-by-step process I take a 5-door station-wagon SUV (Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ76) and turn it into a overland touring vehicle/truck. And while I do so share the principles I use. This is part-1.

      except if you really listen to him he's mostly just saying the same thing over and over.

      I recommend buying a Jeep Rubicon if you want to get into, they're beasts off road

    • @thewrongopinion7811
      @thewrongopinion7811 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same! I own a 4x4 but haven’t off-roaded or overlanded it. Yet.

    • @calavino223
      @calavino223 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      just get a Toyota land cruiser 70 series if you're on a budget

    • @showmequick2245
      @showmequick2245 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Matt Gyver please don’t tell people to buy jeeps while going off road. Unreliable piece of work it is

    Oh God. This Man, he is such a good teacher and he is giving me so positive vibes. I really love the way how he explain everything and he makes it so so Clear !!!

    This easily could’ve been 15 to 20 separate videos... good job on cutting out the fat and getting directly to the meat...👍 Can’t wait for part 2.

    • @freedomrider266
      @freedomrider266 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with your point, but for some purposes, the "fat" is quite necessary. Not in this case, but now you made me want a ribeye, with fat!!

  • @peterwebb7775
    @peterwebb7775 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Just terrific. Not everybody is knowledgeable about things like this so this video is just the job. The advice given here is balanced, not condescending and comes from a genuine first hand experience. Top marks mate.

  • @baruchmbd
    @baruchmbd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great detail, Andrew. Especially appreciate how you logically explain the pros and cons of items that are in the same category.

    Andrew, this has to be the most pragmatic, useful and interesting review I’ve seen. Very informative - thanks!

  • @derrickmartin9717
    @derrickmartin9717 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you so much for this video, Andrew. Though many of your followers are experienced off-roades and overlanders, having this type of video gives one a philosophy as they go about making their first purchases right up to the big ticket items for their rig.

  • @Splits-man
    @Splits-man 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As much as this pains me to admit, for a South African you are light years ahead of anyone in Australia in terms of your off road common sense and your 4WD technical knowledge and it’s application. Your logic is indisputable. Simply amazing! 😲

  • @adamw4469
    @adamw4469 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I get asked about this often as well and always feel like I'm ducking the question when I answer "It depends how you want to use your vehicle". So it's nice hearing the same basic answer from you.

  • @Chemtech2010
    @Chemtech2010 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The method I'm using is just take the vechicle out a lot and see where the limits lie and adjust accordingly. That way you prevent buying unnecessary "upgrades". I mainly use my vehicle on weekends for off roading with planned tours once in a while so I have the luxury to do that. Ofcourse when outfitting for a big trip sometimes you need to do it in one go so good tips for that kind of stuff. Tires and a good air pump are THE best upgrades when starting out by the way. Seen guys with ARB bumpers and expensive lighting getting stuck because they use road tires in the mud :D
